QUOTE(doiink @ Sep 9 2008, 11:44 PM)  WHY ARE MOONCAKES SO f**kING EXPENSIVE. I asked my mom how much they are and she told me $30 a box.. Now I have to "WTF" as well, because I am sure that mooncakes didn't cost this much last year. I did eat half a special mooncake that my mom got from a co-worker or something, though. It smelled like mochi. <3 |

We bought a box of 12 for around $25. They were the ones with flaky layers though (they taste better);

^There are pictures all over this topic.
I LOVE MOONCAKES. I like both the flaky ones and the normal ones. I gave my [white] oboe teacher a box of them once and she's been in love with them since. |

Hooray for the Moon Festival! I'm going to finally learn how to make a mooncake from scratch. I look forward to it.
Red bean and green tea are my favorites, but I'll pretty much eat any type without yolk. |

actually moon festival is this sunday. but monday is the holiday cuz people celebrate it at night, and so to compensate the hours you spend not sleeping, monday is the day off.
anywayysss. i love moon cakes. but they're really fattening and makes me full really fast, so i only eat a quarter or half each time. has anyone ever tried the white cold mochi ones? |

Apparently, according to Wikipedia, mooncakes are sold expensive because they are a luxury. And some mooncakes even have small pieces of gold leaves inside.

Lucky you!
I'm still hesitating on whether to buy ONE mooncake myself this year... cos a box of 4 costs too much and I won't finish it. But probably my Chinese friends and I will hang out in Chinatown to grab some mooncakes on Sunday. :D |

They sell yolkless mooncakes?
It's hard enough as it is to find single yolk mooncakes! |
